You see it in herbalists, on social networks, in specialised shops and, of course, in conversations between friends who have tried its effects. But why has this product gained so much popularity in such a short time?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The world of cannabis has changed a lot in recent years. Although there are still taboos, the truth is that CBD - one of the non-psychoactive cannabinoids - has managed to make its way into the market because of its <\/span><b>relaxing and therapeutic effects<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> without generating a high. This has led to its use in a wide range of contexts, from mental health to skin care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this context, CBD oil is presented as one of the most practical, versatile and potent forms of consumption. But not everything goes: the quality, the origin and the way it is used are key to notice its effects and really take advantage of its properties.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is CBD oil and how is it obtained?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>CBD oil<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a product derived from industrial hemp, a variety of cannabis that contains very low levels of THC. CBD (cannabidiol) is extracted from the flowers and leaves of this plant and mixed with a carrier oil - such as coconut, olive or hemp oil - to facilitate its absorption by the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This format is one of the most popular because of its versatility: it can be applied sublingually, used in cosmetic products or added to food.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most common extraction methods<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The extraction process makes a difference to the purity and efficacy of the oil.
